In the aftermath of Joe Biden dropping out of the presidential race, US presidential candidates have ramped up their attacks on each other in their first major speeches. Donald Trump, the incumbent president, has labeled his likely opponent as a “radical left lunatic,” while Kamala Harris has criticized Trump for his convictions and scandals, accusing him of offering voters “chaos, fear, and hate.”
Political analysts Eric Ham, Thomas Gift, and Jennifer Victor share their insights on what kind of campaign can be expected in the coming months. Ham, co-author of “The GOP Civil War: Inside the Battle for the Soul of the Republican Party,” offers his analysis on the state of the Republican Party and how it may impact Trump’s re-election campaign. Gift, director of the Centre on US Politics at University College London, focuses on comparative politics and the political economy to provide a global perspective on the upcoming election. Victor, an associate professor of political science at George Mason University, weighs in on the potential strategies and tactics that both candidates may employ in the race for the White House.
As the candidates gear up for what is sure to be a contentious and closely watched election, it remains to be seen how the political landscape will evolve and what issues will take center stage in the campaign. Stay tuned for more updates and analysis on the race for the presidency.
